    <p>I'm creating a small RPG worl with pygame. So far so good, I load my maps with Tiled TMX entity manager, and everything is great. Except one thing. When my main character moves, the sprite animation is going to damn fast and I don't know what to do to avoid that. Here is my update() code :</p> <pre><code>def update(self): self.index += 1 if self.index &gt;= 2: self.index = 0 if self.direction == DIRECTIONS['down']: self.image = self.down_anim[self.index] elif self.direction == DIRECTIONS['up']: self.image = self.up_anim[self.index] elif self.direction == DIRECTIONS['left']: self.image = self.left_anim[self.index] elif self.direction == DIRECTIONS['right']: self.image = self.right_anim[self.index] </code></pre> <p>And my keyboard event management :</p> <pre><code>key=pygame.key.get_pressed() try: event = pygame.event.wait() if event.type == KEYDOWN: if (event.key == K_LEFT): if angus.direction != DIRECTIONS['left']: angus.direction = DIRECTIONS['left'] angus.update() angus.position.x -= 1 elif (event.key == K_RIGHT): if angus.direction != DIRECTIONS['right']: angus.direction = DIRECTIONS['right'] angus.update() angus.position.x += 1 elif (event.key == K_UP): if angus.direction != DIRECTIONS['up']: angus.direction = DIRECTIONS['up'] angus.update() angus.position.y -= 1 elif (event.key == K_DOWN): if angus.direction != DIRECTIONS['down']: angus.direction = DIRECTIONS['down'] angus.update() angus.position.y += 1 </code></pre> <p>I'm using a clock to force 60fps. Is there a way I can tell pygame for example : update the sprite but only if it has been more than 1 second since the last update ?<br> Thanks</p> <p>EDIT : Solution :</p> <pre><code>def update(self): self.timer += 1 if self.timer &gt;= self.UPDATE_TIME: self.index += 1 self.timer = 0 if self.index &gt;= 2: self.index = 0 if self.direction == DIRECTIONS['down']: self.image = self.down_anim[self.index] elif self.direction == DIRECTIONS['up']: self.image = self.up_anim[self.index] elif self.direction == DIRECTIONS['left']: self.image = self.left_anim[self.index] elif self.direction == DIRECTIONS['right']: self.image = self.right_anim[self.index] </code></pre>

    1. COWhat I think of is the time.sleep() function. Also, you may want to convert your if-elif loop to dictionaries.

    2. COI think the time.sleep() pause the program and therefore stops every possible action.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
